Love you so Much here in NYC. We Hope you grace us with a Live Performance after "The Lockdown"ere in New York. Thank you for

All songs composed and produced by Alexander Sjödin aka Sailor & I.

You find yourself caught in a space of isolation. Time dances around you like a deadly snake, ready to attack. Where I am? How did I get here? In the pace of the lockdown, you better keep it raw and organic, as life these days. Tune in to yourself and let the music guide you. Music will always take you to those magic places, again and again.

I've decided to dedicate my quarantine time to make ambient music. Probably not the best move financially, but I can't help myself diving into those filtered resonated tones as I feel so contacted by their imperfectness right now. 

Thanks in advance and stay well and focused.

The Lockdown Sessions

Part of "Summer Particles 2014" in July 2014, the Polish duo of Deep Fog and Cream (PL) produced a moment of magic with "Kiki". Richly layered with driving rhythm, pulsating pads and searing lead line, the track was a highlight of an exceptional compilation. Alongside the original, "Kiki" now receives two further treatments from the UK and Netherlands' finest.

A journey through trance to progressive and deep house has seen UK based Anthony Yarranton mature as both DJ and producer. His work characterised by the fundamental principles of "deep vibrating bass lines, energetic grooves and subtle melodies", Yarranton's music has found its way on to some of the most discerning labels. From Armada and Baroque to Lowbit and Dopamine, his versatility has earned him the respect and support of the DJ elite including Hernan Cattaneo, Dave Seaman and Nick Warren. A regular in the clubs of his home country, international appearances in Greece and at both John Digweed's Bedrock and Sasha's Last Night on Earth parties, have provided additional cachet.

A regular on Particles, Anthony Yarranton's rework of "Kiki" sees familiar deep rhythms married to a carefully placed stab that resonates throughout the track as hi-hat percussion brings body-shaking groove. Echoes of the original make their presence felt in a luscious breakdown, before immaculate rhythms are brought to the fore once more.

Dutch producer, Noraj Cue, has been submersed in music from a tender age as vinyl, piano and guitar played and important part in his family socialisation. Using all manner of electronic equipment and everyday utensils to satiate his musical desires, the rise of computer technology helped ease Noraj into the production scene. A half-century of production credits for fellow countryman, Paul Hazendonk's Manual Music, has paved the way for a rich and varied career as Lowbit, Balance and Tronic also feature on a high-profile list of imprints. 

2015 continues to provide multiple highlights including a remix of Logiztik Sounds, while a Proton Music career in collaboration with Paul Hazendonk has seen remixes of Silinder's and Scotty.A complimented by the original track, "Emergence". Now making his debut on Particles, the Noraj Cue remix of "Kiki" is a deft reworking of the original that blends the pulsating melodies of the original with a chunky rhythm section and immaculate additional production, creating a new motif with echoes of the original's bass pattern. The result is a clever interpretation of skill and ingenuity.

Smooth reworkings from Anthony Yarranton and Noraj Cue have ensured that Deep Fog and Cream (PL)'s "Kiki" is set to continue in full swing.

Cream & Deep Fog - Kiki (Noraj Cue Remix) [Particles] (sc prelisten)

For the Willow Wept… (Sunrise Edition)
Release Date: June 24, 2017
© 2017 Keith Richie

For the Willow Wept… (Sunrise Edition) holds a deeply personal place in my heart. While the original version was released in 2012, the journey toward its completion began four years earlier—and it was anything but easy.

During that time, I was navigating an emotional storm. Sitting down to compose felt nearly impossible. When I could gather the energy, I might play a few notes, sketch an idea, or tweak a voice—but more often than not, I’d walk away. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months. The weight of everything I was experiencing made it difficult to focus, and each return to the project often pulled me deeper into a place I was trying to escape.

In retrospect, it’s no surprise that the album drifts between emotional highs and lows—it mirrors the state of my life during those years.

By late 2011 and early 2012, something changed. I began to reclaim my passion for music, bolstered by the support and encouragement of those close to me. I took the six tracks I had and began shaping them into something complete. I didn’t want to release an EP, so I included a reprise of Sea Dragon—essentially the same track with a new intro and outro—to bring balance to the album.

Then, something unexpected happened: I found inspiration.

A piece I’d been struggling with suddenly came together. That track became For the Willow Weeps Underneath the Stormy Skies, and it resonated with me so deeply that I named the entire album after it. Through the presence of someone very close to my heart, I found the strength to finish what I had started.

Although the original album released in June 2012, I always knew I’d return to it. Years later, with new perspective and growth as a composer, I revisited the project. I remastered the original tracks, removed the two earlier versions of Sea Dragon, and kept only the Reprise. I also wrote three new pieces to fully realize the album as a complete emotional arc—one that finally reflects the depth I had envisioned from the beginning.

For the Willow Wept… (Sunrise Edition) is a story of emotional resilience—of navigating darkness and finding the courage to move toward the light. It’s about owning your story, embracing your pain, and realizing that only you have the power to shape your future.

We all face sorrow—but even the longest night eventually gives way to dawn.

This edition is dedicated to my wife, who showed me what true happiness is.
She is my sunrise.
She is my Willow.

[Preview] A.M.R - Ubud [Sag & Tre]

James Zabiela’s debut release on his long-awaited label is announced. ‘The Healing’ is out now with the strongest of remix packages. The legendary and much loved Hot Chip lead the way with Midland, Gang Colours and Club Root in addition. James also contributes his own ‘85’ re-edit.

The original is a beautiful and expansive piece of music with vocals from James.
The Gang Colours remix will be given away as an exclusive download, easily the dreamiest of remixes on this package Gang Colours delivers a cinematic take on the track. Hot Chip made their mix almost entirely live; with signature HC drive it still retains a strong nod to James’ original. Midland recorded his onto cassette tape for added warmth and crackles on the line; and for those not yet turned onto Club Root this atmospheric mix carries far further than his so called ‘bass’ routes…

Unborn Self (Chill Mix)

Remixing Koelle's track ‘Falling upwards’ Featuring Margret on vocals. I loved the warm recording of the piano in the original so I began with overdubbing some piano of my own interpretations. I also feature the Cello and Violin at the breakdowns to embody some more ideas.🎶
Koelles Synth work was perfect on its own so I weaved in these sounds like silk towards the end without changing a thing.🎼🎧
Maybe this would suit a warm afternoon on the deck with a few drinks at sundown.🌄

The seasoned Sailor & I performs with a unique blend of a conventional DJ setup, sometimes also featuring synthesizers & drum machine, his guitar and his singing. A Sailor & I set is versatile, and capable of conjuring an excellent scene, the positive atmosphere for a performance or party to be remembered, shared.
Renowned, and revered, Sailor & I has been working with and supported by some of the industry’s finest with collaborations and remixes.
